The `CONFIG_LINKER_SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT` config, which is enabled by
default, causes the sections containing C++ exception handling
information to be re-ordered for certain targets (in particular, the
64-bit arch targets). This effectively breaks the required "crtbegin.o
-> others -> crtend.o" order and causes the address of the
__EH_FRAME_BEGIN__ symbol to be invalid; thereby, causing C++
exception unwinding to fail.
This commit adds SORT_NONE property to these sections in order to
ensure that the linking order specified in the linker command line is
maintained.

Fixes part of: #32448
This commit updates the CMake CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE to include
crtbegin.o and crtend.o at the right locations when linking with gcc.
It also updates linker scripts to ensure proper location of the
exception header frame sections.
This ensure proper handling of exceptions for those architectures

We need to do a few things differently if we are to support
a virtual memory map, i.e. CONFIG_MMU where CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_BASE
is not the same as CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS.
- All sections must be specified with a VMA and LMA, where
VMA is the virtual address and LMA is the physical memory
location.
- All sections must be specified with ALIGN_WITH_INPUT to
keep VMAs and LMAs synchronized
To do this, the existing linker macros need some adjustment:
- GROUP_LINK_IN undefined when CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_BASE is not
the same as CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS.
- New macro GROUP_ROM_LINK_IN for text/rodata sections
- New macro GROUP_NOLOAD_LINK_IN for bss/noinit sections
- Implicit ALIGN_WITH_INPUT for all sections
GROUP_FOLLOWS_AT is unused anywhere in the kernel for years
now and has been removed.

Include .gcc_except_table (sub-)sections in linker files to support C++
with exceptions enabled. If these sections are not mapped warnings will
be generated for orphaned sections at link time.
